Some good looking wheels, but I am still of the opinion the stock ones on the tC look fantastic. I would rather spend the money paying off the car or for some stereo stuff then upgrade what you are getting for free with this car.

So it might be $2400 for a set...
The thing is, you can always sell your stock rims with fresh tyres to get some rebate :D

Each of the ones I posted in the "someone photochop these" thread were priced ~600 a piece...
I'm super super super interested in the F-Zero Kuwagata rims...
Although i might not be getting these till 5 years down the road LOL, I can't imagine me ever owning a set...
Let me see... 3K on audio, another 5K maybe on go fast mods, then probably after that I'll save up for the rims... (prices include parts and labor LOL)

Am I the only one whos finds the humor in the fact that tirerack.com has a customize your tc, before scion actually has theirs up and running?
Now im going to be spending hours staring at tirerack.com (ick) and their poorly built, overpriced, chromed out wheels.

Baby Probably Doens't Need New Shoes, Yet
The tC is coming with 17s and Z-rated rubber. Considering the size (12" shorter than the Solara, 6" longer than a Celica) and the weight, don't most of you think that it will be enough?
I'm looking forward to sampling the double-wishbone rear-end. Can't wait.

I've alway been a fan of the 15" wheel. But as these new cars get taller and the wheelbases get longer, the 17's are starting to look good. I never pick up on this 18" or larger thing until I saw the 350Z lowered w/ fat 19's on them. It was perfect! Super exotic looking and yet the car was otherwise stock. The bif rims really show off the huge rounded fenders. Very porsche-like.
Volk adds look great, too. If you ever get a hold of a recent Option magazine, they always have beautiful side shots. The Mazdaspeed RX-8 looks hot with that kit and fat rims. And the G35 is clean by itself...with fat rims.
And so I'm thinking that it will be a good investment to buy some nice looking Volks for this tC. 5x100 rims tend to be a bit harder to get, so I may as well get the rims I want. I'm thinking 18x8's would fill up those curvy openings nicely.
So what do you guys think? Will 8 inches be to wide in the front and back at say, a +35 offset? That's just from eyeballing it. They designed nice curves to the car. Who knows what it'll hit on the inside of the wheel.
